On October 1, 2025, the adventure began. After a long flight, we finally arrived in Bray, a suburb of Dublin, where our host families were already waiting to pick us up.

Together, we explored cities like Dublin, Galway, and Bray. We visited the Cliffs of Moher (without the railing, we probably would’ve been blown off the cliffs by the strong wind), the Burren, and Bray Head.

Our personal highlight: An Irish dancing evening, where we got the chance to watch the teachers (and of course the students) show off their dance moves.

The only real disappointment was that on our evening in Galway, we, 36 minors plus 3 teachers, weren’t allowed into a pub. (We still wonder why!)

All in all, it was a wonderful week, and we’re very grateful to the teachers for this amazing experience.

P.S. (A little tip) Ireland isn’t exactly the best choice when it comes to culinary delights.
